Father's Day

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Jun 6, 2006

Notice that one of the responsibilities of John the Baptist was to “turn the hearts of the fathers to the children.” If ever there was a time that this needed to happen it is now.

A few Sunday’s ago I passed out a piece of paper on in that asked 2 questions: (1) What is a Father or Dad?; (2) What does your Father or Dad mean to you? Seven people responded & I am going to let their responses help me preach my sermon today as we honor our fathers. Let me begin by reading ...read more

See what Zacchaeus teaches us about giving, especially as a response to repentance and salvation.

¡§Give Willingly¡¨ (Luke 18:18-19:9) One of the best evidences of genuine salvation is generosity. That¡¦s right ¡V when God enters a life, giving becomes a way of life. Would you say that with me as I show it behind me on the screen? When God enters a life, giving becomes a way of ...read more

Here And There

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 23, 2011

My Crazy Obsession

Contributed by Kelly Benton on Mar 14, 2012

I believe that many of us have some CRAZY OBSESSIONS. I believe it is CRAZY when we place anything above Jesus. Anything that is chosen over our relationship with Jesus is simply a CRAZY OBSESSION.

The Ministry Of John The Baptist

Contributed by James Snyder on Feb 25, 2013

Ministry is not what we do as much as who we are in Christ. True ministry is rooted in Christ and reflects Christ in everything we do.

Jerry Jenkins, the writer of the Left Behind series, says a real writer is someone who cannot not write. One of the professors of theology at a major Christian college said that if you can do anything else do not go into the ministry. What both were saying is that behind our labor is a passion to ...read more

Hopefully you have been getting ready, you have made your list and checked it twice and you will even have some time to slow down and enjoy the season.

Buried With Him, Raised With Him (Baptism Of The Lord, January 8, 2023)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 4, 2023

We always associate a hearse with death. What about baptism? How do we look at baptism? Doesn’t baptism represent death to an old way of life and the beginning of new life as a new creature in Christ? Paul said it did!

BURIED WITH HIM, RAISED WITH HIM Text: Romans 6:1 – 6, 13 - 14 Romans 6:1-6  What then are we to say? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound?  (2)  By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?  (3)  Do you not know that all of us who have ...read more
